Actually, it should only be OHIO so we're really in last place.

OU would be better. That would solidify the Bobcats' rightful hold on last place forever.

You're right. That was cold. Sorry.
I strongly disagree with the premise of this thread. Very juvenile.
The rankings are considered without any mention of the school colors or relative strengh of the mascots. Anybody can count letters.

i don't know about anybody. i'm sure there are more than a few Miami grads who can only wish they could count letters.
I challenge these rankings on the basis that NIU was once called Northern Illinois State Normal School, thus clearly making NISNS #1.

Miami of Ohio should be in the middle of the pack.

Didn't realize that NIU was ever normal.

Not exactly sure how they came up with the name. I guess they didn't want to just call it the Illinois Teachers College in DeKalb.

Well, you can always go with "Flagship U.". THat would move you up significantly.

=>Thus why they changed the name, it was misleading!
